Meta, Spotify break Apple's device fingerprinting rules – new claim

Apple’s new iOS policy requiring developers to justify use of fingerprinting-prone APIs and keep resulting data on-device is reportedly being sidestepped by major apps (Chrome, Instagram, Spotify, Threads), which researchers say send related data off-device; Apple’s enforcement appears limited, and Google maintains that Chrome’s behavior complies with the rules, claiming the transmitted data is unrelated to restricted APIs and used for maintaining clock accuracy.
